Anybody remember or got pictures of bennets from blakeney had a great uncle and uncle drive for them also told they moved us when we moved from oaklands park. My uncle went on to drive for cecil & ernest awre, dougie barber is his name if anyone nows him.Afternoon Pete,
Being a Blakeney boy I can remember Bennett’s very well, only in the bygone days were you allowed a Transport yard right in the middle of a village. If my Gray matter is correct I swear they had blue Dagenham dustbin artics. Know Dougie since I was young and always use to stop me in the tracks as a youngster seeing him go by in Earnest’s Scanias. He came to work at Cecil’s then and was still there long after I left for pastures new.
Regards
Dean
Bennett’s, that’s the one I couldn’t remember. I’ll see our brother later I expect, so will see what he has to say…Cheers…Paul
BTW yers one for ya…What is this?0
O.K. I’ll stick me neck out & have a guess-
I reckon it was a Leyland before they built that cab.
Go one, then, make me look an idiot (or even MORE of an idiot than usual) and tell us what it really is. I reckon the photo’s taken outside Uncle Richard’s office?I’m asking cause I don’t know. I’m surprised there’s not someone out there that’s driven vehicles like this, or am I being presumptuous? Yes it was at longhope.
You’ll have to call in and ask, matey. Young Richard knows everything.
At least he says he does!

I think it is a Dennis got sold at auction some years back if my memory serves me right cheers FLOURPOWER
Dennis was my first guess but then I thought it looked a bit high for one of those. Unless the camera angle makes it look bigger. I have to admit that the cab shape looks more Dennis than Leyland.
Seen at Gaydon.

Didn’t Arthur Brunsdon run cattle lorries?
hi Arthur Brunsdon had a couple of foden timber tractors that they used with lowloader trailers for moving factory machinery and also leading timber for woodmans of stonehouse they also had a foden six wheel crane and some rigids that led bricks out of a local brickworks but i don’t know about a cattle lorry i think they had packed in by the early 80’s
Only slightly lorry related, but did anyone remember when the mills finished around the Stroud area? We deliver to a bakery in one old mill and an engineering firm we use for mill screens are based in one near Stonehouse. I always like seeing the chimneys as I drop into Stroud, 'cos the females aren’t worth a second glance!

Thinking about it a bit more, perhaps it was another Brunsdon who ran either a Bedford or Austin livestock lorry. The brain’s not 100% as you can see!
My uncle Howard (also known as Arthur) was fitter at Vivian Young’s of Brimscombe for as long as I can remember.

Hi Paul pretty sure thats a Dennis regards Keith
Fresh from paint shop…
That looks good.
Anyone else remember when Ralphy first started? A lot of us were of the opinion that he was a bit of an upstart, not likely to last too long. How wrong can you be?!?

I well remember Eric in that Seddon when Gloucester cattle market was where today’s bus station is.
Along with such names as H. Alan Jones from Hanley Swan, Northover Bros from Pilning, Bob Cooper and Roy Morgan.
Can anyone remind me who ran the petrol Bedford before Timms Bros (later James Timms) bought him out?
As a boy in the Fifties going to old Gloucester Market with my father, I can remember Eric Vick’s long nosed dodge hauling cows from the market to the railway station. Roy Morgan was still working for Blandfords and he then took over the lorries in the early Sixties.
Re: James Timms. The man wo ran the petrol Bedford before Timms was called Albert Lyes (he walked with a stooped back).
Daphdriver, you must be the same age as me, only with a much better memory! That’s cleared another couple of queries up for me. Jim Timms and his brother (can’t recall his name) were into scrambling- posh name, Motocross- when they took over old Albert’s lorry and used to turn up at the local Scrambles with the bikes in the back of the livestock container.
